As part of a trading update for the first quarter of 2026, Mondi has announced further site closures. The packaging and paper group is responding to continued margin pressure and rising costs in a challenging market environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the first quarter of 2026, Mondi achieved an adjusted EBITDA of \u20ac212 million, including a positive fair value forestry gain of \u20ac8 million. This resulted in a largely stable performance compared to the previous quarter (\u20ac214 million), despite being impacted by lower selling prices and rising energy costs.<\/p>\n

Factory closures in Germany, Poland and Hungary<\/h2>\n

Mondi has now announced the closure of three further processing sites: a Consumer Flexibles plant in Hungary, and two sites in the Corrugated Solutions segment in Germany and Poland. This will result in a total reduction of around 450 jobs over the course of the year.<\/p>

The measures are part of a more comprehensive adjustment programme<\/a>. With the recent announcements, there is an increase in planned factory closures on a total of six<\/a>. Production is to be relocated to other sites within the existing network.<\/p>\n

Volume growth meets rising costs<\/h2>\n

Operationally, Mondi was able to increase sales volumes in the Corrugated Packaging and Flexible Packaging business segments in the first quarter. This was supported, among other things, by capacity expansions and the broad geographical and product positioning.<\/p>
